You ever stare at something so long that you almost convince yourself it should be yours? That’s me with these three watches.
I see a lot of watches come and go, but every now and then, a few just hit differently. These are the ones I keep finding excuses to pick up, admire, and - if I’m being honest - hesitate to let go.
Here’s why:
1. URBAN JÜRGENSEN 2240 Jules Collection Date Rose Gold 40mm

This one’s a sleeper. It has the same level of movement finishing as F.P. Journe, but without all the hype. If you know, you know.
Also, Urban Jürgensen’s history is insane - founded in 1773 by a Danish watchmaker and now in the hands of Kari Voutilainen, one of the greats. That’s over 250 years of watchmaking heritage right there.

2. OTSUKA Lotec No. 6 METEORITE Jump Hour Retrograde Steel

You want rare? How about a dial made from an actual meteorite? That alone makes it a conversation piece.
But what I love most is how it blends industrial and mechanical aesthetics perfectly - and since no one knows exactly how many exist, wearing one is like holding a secret only a few are in on.

3. GIRARD PERREGAUX Laureato Absolute Light Sapphire Skeleton

Ever wanted a watch that stuns hardcore collectors and casual observers alike - but without the in-your-face flash? This is it.
GP went all out with a sapphire case and skeletonized dial, pushing their design to the limit. It’s a modern masterpiece that whispers luxury instead of shouting it.

Anyway, just thought I’d share these because, well, I can’t stop staring at them.
Talk soon,
